We were delighted to once again attend the prestigious Walpole Awards for Excellence on Monday evening. Dubbed the ‘Oscars of luxury’ by The Walpole’s Chief Executive, Julia Carrick, the event brings together some of the biggest (and most luxurious!) names in the industry.
Gathered in Banqueting House in Whitehall, it was a perfect setting to meet faces old and new.
The evening was sponsored by Coutts & Co. and was kicked off by individual welcome speeches from Julia Carrick and Coutts Chief Executive, Michael Morley. Then came what everyone was excited for – the awards.
Big winners of the night included Victoria Beckham for ‘Emerging British Luxury Brand’ and Mr Porter for ‘Luxury Brand Online’. Sarah Burton unsurprisingly picked up the ‘British Luxury Design Talent’ award, topping off a year that has sky-rocketed her in the fashion industry.
Fans of Dowton Abbey were thrilled to see actor Hugh Bonneville at the event, who actually scooped a surprise award himself!
Take a look at all the winners and nominees from the night here.
